Who pays Haaland's wages now?
When a player like Erling Haaland is injured on international duty, his club, Manchester City, continues to pay his wages. However, FIFA has a club protection programme that compensates clubs for players injured while representing their national team. This covers the player's salary for up to a year, paid by the national football association.
